A/N: the terms I used in this is probably not accurate, so no getting mad
*It is 1999*
Robbie Rotten was sitting all alone in his one-room apartment. Success was NEVER in his vocabulary. "The Lorax" was reflecting in his sorrow eyes from his 12-inch screen. One day, Robbie received a call from his good buddy, Hoolio. "Want to work at business with me, bro ??"
"What kind of business, my good man?"
"Microsoft, I think the one on Wall Street."
"Really? I love the sound when it's shutting down!" https://youtu.be/Gb2jGy76v0YIt is now the evening. Robbie was pacing around his barely alive couch. He couldn't believe it. He was astounded by the fact that he'd go to the same business as Tiffany Trash Can. Tiffany owns 60% of Microsoft shares. Tiffany had always been Robbie's inspiration. She was once in Robbie's poor state. But, she made moola by purchasing stocks (portions of a publicly owned company that is for sale) . Tiffany was now in a seat of Stank Tank. A show where people go offer their ideas to investors (people that give people money for their ideas).
"It's time I get my beauty sleep" Robbie whispered to himself.
Robbie closed his heavy eyes, and set into a deep sleep.
"RING, RING, RING"
"AGH"
Robbie climbed out of bed to the sound of his alarm still sounding. Robbie jumped into his fancy pants, and button up shirt. Robbie hastily ran to the fridge to get a refreshing glass of some OJ. Hoolio barged in without warning, causing Robbie to jolt and spill oj on himself.
"Ready to go be some investors for Microsoft?!"
"I beg your pardon, Hoolio?"
"We go purchase stocks; to own more of the company's shares and have more say."
"Well I got to go change now!"
"No time! We gonna be late!"
"Whatever you say Hoolio"Robbie and Hoolio drive up to the building and get out. They look up at the building in unison. The tall building caused the two to get dizzy.
"Ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."Robbie and Hoolio walk in slow-mo while the fresh smell of technology (??) blew into their faces. The two were greeted by a plump, red faced guy named Jerry. Jerry showed Robbie and Hoolio where their work areas would be.
"Wanna split up and look around ?"
"Sure, why not?"Robbie passed a plethora of people building computers. Suddenly, Robbie found a person standing in front of the printer.
"OMG, YOU'RE TIFFANY"
"And?"
"I'm your biggest fan !!"
"Mhm."
"What's wrong?"
Tiffany looked him up and down, looking unpleasant, "I prefer not to associate with someone with an orange juice stain on their first day."Tiffany shot her head up in a snotty way. Robbie was shocked on how he's looked up to her for all this time, but how two faced she truly was. Robbie felt this feeling in his chest; anger. Then, it slowly turned into a new idea. Robbie rushed to Hoolio and told him of his experience.
"Ah man, really Robbie? Man, I'm sorry."
"Hey, it's cool. Hey I have a good idea"
"What?"
"I am going to take over and have more power than Tiffany"
"You mean buy stocks?"
"Duh"
"Awesome!"
Robbie huffed as he made his way through the door of his apartment, it's been a long day. But, Robbie was storming up a plan. A good one. Robbie slumped down on his couch and went to sleep.
It was now six in the morning and Robbie rushed out of bed. He went through his usual morning routine. Then, Robbie slid on his shoes and went into the world with determination https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj7_oeHVo_Q . Robbie made a quick stop to McDonald's for an egg cheese sandwich, because why not? He stormed to the Microsoft building, he was the first one there besides the janitor. Suddenly, the CEO, boss man, Dean Smith pulls up in a 1967 chevy impala.
"Morning Robbie, how are you?"
"Determined Mr. Smith"
"Is that so?"
"Yes sir, I am going to buy more stocks than Tiffany"
"You oughta be careful, she does not play easy"
"Mhmm"
It was now eight in the morning. Everyone was flying around. Robbie made his way towards Dean Smith's way with his savings he got from his grandmother. Then, Tiffany stopped him.
"I don't know what you're doing, but you better watch yourself."
"Or??"
*Awkward silence*
"Tiffany, you better watch what you say. If you say something, mean it. This isn't the first time you're being two faced, you're good at that." https://youtu.be/bNbhog0xEXQ
Robbie sprinted towards CEO Smith's office.
"I WANNA BUY 70% OF SHARES"
"Robbie, that's an awful lot for only being your second day"
"Mr. Smith, I understand. But, I see that Microsoft has so much potential, and I'd be honored to put money into this company."
"Tiffany!"
"Yes Mr.Smith?"
"You're fired, we don't need you anymore."
In this case, we would not want to be Tiffany. She went from having everything, to nothing at all. Since Tiffany was fired, she no longer has access to the stocks and shares. Since she has little to no access, she has less say and doesn't make that 60% of stocks and shares. In Robbie Rotten's case, we would want to be him. Since he bought 70% of shares, he makes more and has more say and power. Robbie was growing teary eyed since his biggest dream just happened right in front of his eyes.
Robbie is sitting on his couch and dials Tiffany's number.
"Hello"
"Tiffany."
"Please, I'll give you as much money as you want! I need my job back"
"It's my business now." Robbie dramatically slams his flip phone shut in satisfaction.*It is now 2018*
Over the years, Mr. Smith retired and gave Robbie the job of Microsoft's CEO. Robbie has made millions off of his inventions: the walking phone and a phone so that people that are deaf can sign to the phone, the phone has a sensor, then translates the sign to words. Also, Robbie, and others have turned Microsoft from a Bear Market (a nickname for a market that is on a steady decline) to a Bull Market (a nickname for a market that is on a steady increase) with their out-of-the-box inventions. Robbie and his best friend 5EVER, Hoolio have a clink their 16 oz Caramel Frappes.
"To success, bro"
"To success!"
Robbie and Hoolio watch "The Lorax" on the 70-inch flat screen in Robbie's mansion.
